Launchpad Cleaner
The Launchpad is a new practice of OS X Leo, but can quickly become binding if you have many applications. As of IOS, you cannot just hide an application: to remove the Launchpad, you must remove the hard drive. It makes sense, but it is also inconvenient for some applications that are used rarely, but it does not completely remove either.
Launchpad Cleaner can just hide the icons and so empty the Launchpad, without removing applications. This utility displays the current status of Launchpad and can hide an icon with a single click. We can also rename an application, but not moving. Developed by AIR Launchpad Cleaner is fairly heavy and the application exploits certain features of bad Mac OS X such as gestures to trackpad, but it is functional. The author has in mind in particular the preservation and restoration of the status of the Launchpad and we can restore the default version if something goes wrong.
Apple also set a keyboard shortcut to change the wallpaper Launchpad. By default, the grid of icons is placed on a fuzzy version of the wallpaper in progress. Using the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + b, we can change this setting: net wallpaper, wallpaper in black and white wallpaper black and white blur. Once changed, the setting is retained by the system and the bottom is always as you selected. We did not find other shortcuts to use in Launchpad, please share your discoveries.

The GalaxyTab again blocked in Germany
The legal battle between Apple and Samsung has left the Netherlands to head back to Germany, where a preliminary decision was made today around the shelves of the two manufacturers. The sale of the GalaxyTab is again banned in Germany, pending a trial on the merits on September 9. Judge Johanna Hofmann-Brueckner of the Court of Düsseldorf has nevertheless made it clear that it could confirm this decision. But this would only affect German soil, not Europe.
According to a report from Bloomberg, the judge specifically stated "There are many other ways to design a tablet, as amply demonstrated by the market. We believe that the European rights to the design of Apple imply benefit from good protection, if not very large". A very different assessment of the Court in The Hague in the Netherlands where Apple got nothing for the moment the issues of hardware design. A lawyer for Samsung, and had interpreted the judge's decision "As he rightly pointed out, human design of Apple cannot force us to make bad products technically. Many design elements are simply necessary if you want to make a tablet. "
It also appears that cases of image manipulation of the tablet from Samsung to give it the same dimensions as the iPad not particularly interested in the judge, is on his side Florian Mueller at FOSS Patents. She asked about it by counsel for both parties to discuss among themselves about it, but outside the court. The restoration of this injunction, decided to start on August 9 and then lifted a week later, is now valid until September 9. In parallel, Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission and answer questions digital answering a question on his Twitter, said its services "closely followed the Dutch and German records." Neelie Kroes has been active in business between Brussels to Microsoft.

Evolution of Thunderbolt -3
So he imagines a Mac mini that could be chained to each other and that we connect to your computer in order to gain power. Thus, we could have a system with 6 Core i7 processors with 24 cores in total, 24 GB of RAM (which could go up to 96 GB) and 6 TB of storage, all for $ 6000. He said a similar setup with a Mac Pro would cost more than double.
Thus, each could have its Big Mac at home. For those who no longer remember, Virginia Tech University was developed in 2003 the third most powerful supercomputer in the world with 1100 Power Mac G5, which were connected by fiber. Integrating Xsan in Lion and the addition of Thunderbolt have the advantage to save money on software as drastic as the material for the sharing of calculation.
There remains the problem of the video card ... Cringely also has its own ideas on the matter. It can well imagine Apple market screens 27 "or 30" shipped directly Retina which a video card.
With such a system, users could build "machines" to measure. All this is only speculation, it is unclear whether all this will really come, but it illustrates the fact that Thunderbolt is able to radically change the way today's computers are designed.
Recently, a Japanese blog announced the launch by the end of the year of a new family of Mac unrelated to existing materials. If such a model were to be born, we would not be surprised that Thunderbolt is playing such a role.
